I reformatted my HD and booted from the XP setup disks.
After that, I partitioned my drive fat32. the install
continued(blue screen part) and when i hit the next area
of the install (in windows interface) first thing that
happens is this:
*error: installation failed d:\i386\asms error message:
*incorrect function.
*fatal error: one of the components that windows needs to
*continue setup could not be installed.
*Incorrect function.
anyone know how to fix this frustrating problem?

This may be an indication that XP "lost" your CD drive at that point in
setup. Try copying the i386 directory from the XP CD to the hard drive.
Then start setup by running winnt.exe in the i386 directory on your HD,
after loading smartdrv.exe.
